PLACEMENT/INSTALLATION

1. Placing/wall-mounting the soundbar: The soundbar is designed to be placed

on a ﬂat surface directly in front of your TV on its two supplied feet, on a shelf

directly above or below your TV in a piece of furniture with feet or wall-mounted

(via keyholes on the rear of the soundbar) under a TV that is also wall-mounted. If

wall-mounting, connect cable to TV ﬁrst, then use supplied wall-mount template

to mount soundbar. If the two mounting holes drill into wall studs, screw two wood

screws in those holes to hang the soundbar on. If there are no wall studs where the

holes are drilled, use wall anchors that support at least 7 pounds (3.18kg) to hang

the soundbar on. Connect cable from TV (see Connection section) to soundbar and

hang soundbar on wall.

2. Placing the subwoofer: The subwoofer is designed to be placed on the ﬂoor in the

same room within 50 feet (15.24m) of the soundbar near an electrical outlet. For

maximum bass output, place the subwoofer in a corner on the same wall as the TV

and soundbar. Once the soundbar has been connected to the TV and plugged into a

wall outlet, plug the subwoofer into a wall outlet.

CONNECTION

1. Connecting the soundbar to your TV: The soundbar part of your Kipsch Icon

™

SB 1

system is what needs to be connected to your TV, Cable Box or Satellite Receiver. If

you have other devices connected to your TV, such as a DVD /BluRay player, gaming

system, etc., connect the soundbar to the TV so that you can listen to all those and

your TV through the soundbar. If there are no other devices connected to your TV

other than a cable or satellite box and you receive all of your television programs from

that box, you can connect the soundbar to either that box or your TV. There are three

different ways to connect the soundbar to your TV, Satellite or Cable box.

A. Digital Optical Cable

Most High Deﬁnition TV’s, Satellite and Cable boxes have an DIGITAL OPTICAL AUDIO

OUTPUT. First, remove the clear plastic covers from each end of the digital optical cable

and connect one end of an optical cable (cable supplied) into the corresponding output

of your TV, Satellite or Cable box and connect the other end of the cable into the DIGITAL

OPTICAL INPUT on the back panel of the soundbar.

B. RCA Cable

If you do not have an optical digital output, you can use analog left and right audio

outputs on your device and connect them to the analog left and right inputs on the

soundbar with the a male RCA to male RCA cable (cable supplied).

C. 3.5mm Output (Headphone Jack)

A third choice would be to connect from a headphone output on your device to the

analog left and right inputs on the soundbar (cable not supplied).

Once you have made any of the above audio cable connections, connect the

supplied soundbar power supply into the “DC Input” on the back of the soundbar,

plug the power supply into an active electrical socket and turn the Main Power

Switch on the back of the soundbar on.

2. Connecting the subwoofer to the soundbar: Once you have placed the subwoofer

in the room, take the supplied subwoofer power cord, plug one end into the sub-

woofer where it is labeled “AC In” and plug the other end into an active electrical

socket. Turn the Main Power Switch on the back of the subwoofer on. On the sound-

bar, make sure the left status light is either solid green or orange (press SOURCE

button once if light is steady red). The red light on the back of the subwoofer will

stay solid until it ﬁnds the wireless signal coming from the soundbar. Once it ﬁnds

that signal (approximately 15 seconds), the solid red light will change to solid blue,

indicating the subwoofer is now connected to the soundbar.

PROGRAMMING YOUR TV REMOTE TO OPERATE THE SOUNDBAR

The following 3 steps should be used to program each function of your TV or cable box

remote control buttons (MUTE, VOLUME UP, & VOLUME DOWN). IF THE SOUNDBAR IS IN

STANDBY MODE (solid red status light), push the <SOURCE> button on the soundbar

until the status light is solid GREEN.

1. Place the unit in learning mode: With the status light showing solid GREEN, press and

hold down both the <SOURCE> and <MUTE> buttons on the front of the soundbar at

the same time (approximately 3 seconds) until the status light ﬂashes RED and GREEN.

2. Select the function to learn: Press the <MUTE> button once on the soundbar (the

status light changes to solid ORANGE). (Substitute the SOURCE, VOLUME UP &

VOLUME DOWN in place of <MUTE> when programming the other buttons during

this step)

3. Learn the function: Hold your remote control within one foot and pointed at the

front of the soundbar. Slowly press the <MUTE> button on your remote control four

times. On the ﬁrst three presses, the status indicator light will ﬂicker ORANGE with

each press. If the unit has successfully learned the function, on the fourth press of

the button, the light will ﬂash GREEN several times and then turn to solid GREEN.

(Remember to use the VOLUME UP & VOLUME DOWN in place of <MUTE> when

programming the other buttons during this step)

To program the remaining functions, simply repeat all steps, substituting <MUTE> with

the new function and button presses (VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN) on steps TWO and

THREE.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is not a power on/off button on the front of the soundbar

(there is a “Main Power” switch on the soundbar’s rear panel). You DO NOT need to turn

off the soundbar (or subwoofer) when ﬁnished watching TV. When ﬁnished, turn off your

TV (or Satellite or Cable box if the soundbar is connected to that). The soundbar (and the

subwoofer) will automatically go into a Standby or “sleep” mode if they do not receive an

audio signal from your TV, Satellite or Cable Box for approximately 10 minutes. Standby

“On” mode is indicated by a solid red left status light on the soundbar front and on the

subwoofer rear panel. When your TV, Satellite or Cable box is turned back on and a signal

is again received the soundbar (and subwoofer) will automatically come out of Standby

mode and turn on.

OPERATING THE KLIPSCH ICON

™

SB 1

Once your soundbar is connected and operating, you will want to complete a few basic steps

to get the most enjoyment out of your system. First, you will want to turn off the speakers

on your TV and let your soundbar be your new sound source. Some TV’s will automatically

turn off their speakers when you connect the soundbar, while others you must manually

turn their speakers off. Refer to your TV’s owner’s manual for instructions to turn off the

TV speakers. If you cannot turn your TV speakers off, the soundbar will still give you an

excellent enhancement to the sound coming from your TV, and you can easily adjust your TV

sound to blend with the soundbar’s sound. To make this adjustment, ﬁrst program your TV

remote to operate the soundbar, then manually turn your TV volume down all the way down

from the controls on the TV itself. Next, press the VOLUME UP (+) control on the front of the

soundbar until you have a comfortable TV listening volume level coming from the soundbar.

Finally, to make sure the KLIPSCH ICON

™

SB 1 subwoofer has a balanced sound with the

soundbar, set the subwoofer volume on the subwoofer rear to approximately the halfway

point, and then adjust up or down.

3D SURROUND

The KLIPSCH ICON

™

SB 1 features a 3D Surround Mode which adds spaciousness to the

sound, simulating the effect of having multiple speakers surrounding you such as in a

movie theater. This feature requires no distinct speaker placement, special room require-

ments or speciﬁc program material to work properly. To turn on, simply push the “3D” but-

ton on the KLIPSCH ICON

™

SB 1 remote and the soundbar will show a white light indicating

the feature is on. To turn off, push the 3D button again and the white light will turn off,

along with the feature. This effect will work at multiple listening positions in your room.

The four control buttons can be programmed into other remote controls using the built-in

Learning Remote feature, but the 3D Surround mode On/Off button cannot be learned by any

other remote and must be controlled with the included remote.

CARE AND CLEANING

Occasional dusting or wiping of the cabinets with a soft cloth is all that is required. Never

use water, abrasive or solvent type cleaners or detergents. Never spray polishes or cleaners

on the drive units (woofer, midrange or tweeter) or on any controls or connection points. A

vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment may be used to clean the grill fabric. Take

grills off before using a vacuum and do not vacuum on the drivers.
